Abstract

PURPOSE
This study aimed to identify the factors that affect the health promotion behaviors of shift workers.
METHODS
Using self-administered questionnaires, data were collected between August 13th and 31st, 2018. Descriptive statistics were computed, and t-test, analysis of variance, and correlational and multiple stepwise regression analyses were conducted using International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.
RESULTS
Health promotion behaviors were significantly and positively correlated with psychological well-being (r=.491, p < .001), fatigue (r=.170, p=.030), and self-efficacy (r=.520, p < .001). Psychological well-being (β=.249, p=.014), fatigue (β=.179, p=.007), and self-efficacy (β=.335, p=.001) had significant effects on health promotion behaviors and together explained 31.7% of the variance.
CONCLUSION
A systematic educational program that enhances psychological well-being should be developed and implemented to nurture health promotion behaviors among shift workers. Additionally, an intervention program that can enhance health promotion behaviors should be implemented to improve self-efficacy and prevent fatigue among shift workers.
